Village of Oregon

Board adopts misconduct reporting system

Some question if it protects
employees enough
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

The Village Board has adopted a new

village employee misconduct reporting
system, but there is some debate whether
it provides enough protection for potential

whistleblowers.
The new system includes a document
that the complaining employee would be
asked to fill out, submit and discuss with
the official in charge. In adopting the new
policy, the board asked the Public Safety
committee to determine if an anonymous
reporting system is also needed.
At the boards last meeting, Trustee
Jeanne Carpenter reported that the committee agreed the village should implement

the new system and allow time to evaluate it before considering an anonymous
system. That, she said, reflected village
administrator Mike Graczs opinion.
The new reporting system stems from the
villages experience over the past couple
of years with the Oregon Police Department, which was investigated internally
as well as by a state agency about officers

Welcome Center grand opening set for Saturday

becomes the Village of
Oregon Welcome Center
Saturday in a grand opening event at 10 a.m.
The event is the culmination of almost two years
of fundraising and building
improvements organized
by resident Randy Glysch.
He organized the landscaping and construction improvements to the
building with the help of
local design/builder Scott
Meier.
Glysch raised more
than $58,000 for the project, some of which came

from selling 80 pavers individuals donated to the

project.

When Gov. Walker

announced his proposed 201517 biennial state budget earlier
this year, it included a funding
cut of $150 per student at public schools.
After hearing weeks of testimony and communications
from educators many of
whom are asking to restore
the funding it looks like the
states Joint Finance Committee may do just that.
At Mondays Oregon
School Board meeting, member Charles Uphoff, who
serves as the boards legislative liaison, said hes heard
the $150-per-student aid
increase might be restored
when the budget is finalized
later this year.
Its going to be interesting
to see how it plays out, he
said. Its better than a $150
cut; legislators have been getting an earful, people are very
vocal Im hoping there will
be some changes (from the
proposed budget).
Board member Steve Zach
noted that the board has an
option to cover the loss of the
$150-per-student credit using
fund balance if needed, but
that would lead to a roughly

$1 million operating shortage.

And even if the credit is
restored, the district would
still have around a $500,000
gap in its
next budget
due to health
insurance and
cost-of-living
increases.
That still
leaves us short
Uphoff
on the operational end, he
said.
Board president
Dan
Krause agreed,
saying that
would leave
the district still
stuck with
basically the
Zach
same budget as
last year.

Teacher compensation
District human resources
director Jina Jonen said a
committee is continuing to
work on a new teacher compensation plan, gathering
comments from staff and the
public. She said a common
theme from residents is that
the proposed $2.9 million
price tag is too expensive,
something the committee is
working to adjust.
Jonen said there are two
upcoming informational meetings with staff planned in the
next few weeks, with a staff

Below plans to retire in September

Village public works
director will be hard
to replace
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

Village of Oregon public

works director Mark Below
is planning to retire in September after more than 41
years as a village employee.
He informed village
administrator Mike Gracz
last week of his intention to
retire this year.
Below graduated from
Oregon High School in
1972, got married the following year and began working
for the village in 1974 as a
street maintenance laborer.
He became director of public
works in 1993 and is also the
village zoning administrator
and cemetery sexton.

With his
institutional
knowledge
of the village and its
recent history, Below
is the person
Below
that others always
seem to
turn to for answers about village history. Last year, in an
Observer feature story about
his career with the village,
Below joked about his long
tenure here.
Im what they call a
dinosaur something thats
been in one place that many
years, he said with a laugh.
But I enjoy answering peoples questions; I really enjoy
that part of it. Its nice to help
people in the village when
they need an answer and its
also nice for the people who
work for me.

I try to share everything

I know about the village to
make their jobs easier.
Village administrator
Mike Gracz said the public works directors job
description will be updated
as September draws closer,
but basic duties and responsibilities of the position will
remain the same.
Village President Steve
Staton last year said Below
would be hard to replace
whenever he decides to
retire.
Staton noted that Below
quietly goes about his job in
a very thorough fashion and
that hes always respectful and has a good sense of
humor.
Hes just fun to work
with, Staton said. His
knowledge and experience
just cant be replaced. He
just does a really, really good
job.

Poppe, Wickus finish

seventh out of 850
schools at state
Scott De Laruelle
Unified Newspaper Group

When Oregon High

School juniors Tyler Poppe
and Luke Wickus graduate next June, theyll do so
with a lot more confidence
of succeeding in their chosen fields. The two teamed
up to bring home a seventhplace finish at the 2015
Ford/AAA Student Auto
Skills Competition State
Hands-On competition May
6 in Mequon.
OHS technology and
engineering teacher Ned
Lease said the competition
starts with a written, standardized test for all auto
program students in the
state. Each schools top two
finishers are then grouped
as a team and their collective score is compared
with the other schools in
the state, with the top 10
advancing to the hands
on competition. This year,
850 schools in the state
were tested, he said, making a top 10 finish a difficult task.
I always tell the kids,
thats like making the state
basketball tournament in a

one-division tournament,
Lease said.
At the competition, student teams have to figure out how to solve an
unknown issue.
Its something that stops
the car from running, and
each individual car has the
exact same problem, Lease
said. They see who can do
it the fastest.
The top two finishers
have to work together at the
state competition to diagnose and fix the problem,
something that Lease said
can make for an interesting dynamic, particularly if
the two arent used to each
other.
Its a team effort, and
youve got to get a game
plan together for how you
want to attack the problem
and divide it up, he said.
Its as real-world as you
can get.

Technical team
Wickus has been helping fix cars since the age of
seven, when he helped his
dad swap out the engine on
his truck.
Its something I enjoy,
he said. Its relaxing.
These days, he works on
installing transmissions manual and automatic - and
a lot more in Leases Automotive 2 class. While he
said he and Poppe missed

a few things in the competition, he was happy with

how they finished.
We got done pretty
quickly, Wickus said. Its
a good test for all of what
can come about in the real
world, where theyll give
you a repair order and a list
of things to do.
After graduating from
OHS next year, he said
hed like to get a degree in
machining and welding,
which will be useful for his
planned automotive work in
the future.
If I need something, like
a specialty part, I can make
it, Wickus said. That way,
you can do everything inhouse. You have a machine
shop, and automotive shop,
and maybe a foundry.
Poppe said after graduating, hed like to find a
job working in automotive
electronics. He said hes
pleased at the outcome
of the state competition,
though he said they could
have done better.
It feels pretty good, out
of all those people who
tried, Poppe said.
Lease, who is in his
fourth year at OHS, has had
an automotive team in the
top 10 each year, including a second-place finish
in 2013. He credits really
good facilities at the high
school, as well as excellent

community support for the

schools tech ed program.
The kids worked hard
after the first year and set
the bar high for everyone
else, Lease said. Were
still riding that wave of
those first kids who qualified my first year here. The
next year, those kids get
more competitive in-house,
and its a good, healthy
competition.
Students in the automotive classes are well-positioned after graduation to
enter a workforce that is
experiencing a boom, Lease
said, giving competitions
like this one more meaning.
I tell the kids all the
time, were sitting on the
advent of the largest skills
trade turnover in American
history, with so many people retiring or getting out of
the industry, he said. We
need people now, as far as
technicians, and they need
to be able to diagnose and
troubleshoot (many) different systems - mechanical,
electrical, chemical - on a
vehicle. You have the most
advanced electronics and
navigation and mechanical aspects of anything on
a modern automobile its
not just fixing things with a
wrench and a hammer anymore.

Misconduct: Employees required to notify administrator

Continued from page 1
accepting cash payments
for providing off-duty security work at Union Sports
Club while in uniform and
using police department
equipment.
Gracz said police department employees felt they
lacked an avenue to report
misconduct, which is what
prompted the Village Board
to draft the new policy.
Village attorney Matt
Dregne and labor attorney
Kyle Gulya worked with
village staff on the system
but apparently disagreed
about the need for whistleblower protections.
The new reporting system
requires an employee not
just in the police department but village wide to
alert the village administrator if he or she suspects
misconduct by another
employee or supervisor. If
the concern were about the
administrator, the employee
would contact the village
president.
We did not have this in
place before, Gracz told
the Observer. Its a formal
system where if an employee sees something thats
inappropriate and could
rise to the level of misconduct by a village employee
or theyre concerned about
something, they fill out this
form and submit it and then

we investigate it.
At the April 20
board meeting,
Trustee Jeff Boudreau commented that the type of
reporting system adopted
by the Village Board does
more to protect the village
than the employee, and
encouraged the board to
consider an anonymous
whistleblower process.
Gulya countered that
if there were allegations
against a police chief, for
example, the accused needs
to be able to confront the
accuser, and anonymity
hides the accuser.
Gulya added that there
are some baseline protections for whistleblowers
similar to unlawful sexual
harassment. He said the
village would take necessary appropriate remedial
action for retaliating against
the whistleblower, but did
not say specifically what
those actions might be.
He said an employee
reporting misconduct is not
only an expected response
but also required.
Were trying to avoid a
new way for the village to
get sued, he said.
Dregne also questioned
whether the villages new
system would do enough to
protect an informant.
There is a policy
that says an employee is required to report

misconduct, he explained.
We want them to report,
and we dont want retaliatory action, but theyre not
really protected from retaliation.
Gracz told the board hes
gone through a couple of
investigations and was
able to protect the employees who reported it.
So we have a record of
doing that already, he concluded.
Village President Steve
Staton agreed, and said
village staff would be educated and trained annually about their responsibility to report when they
see a questionable action
or behavior by a fellow
employee.
In an interview, Boudreau said hes not convinced necessary whistleblower protections are in
place unless theres an
anonymous reporting system. He told the Observer
hes worked on nonprofit
boards and with for-profit
businesses, and theyve
always had an anonymous
system available.
Those policies contain
verbiage that protects the
employee from retribution,
he said. This is one of the
first boards that Ive sat
on where that has not been
the case. And if it is a best
practice, I dont know why
we dont adopt it.

At the boards May 4

meeting, Trustee Jeanne
Carpenter asked Gracz how
he would know if the system thats now in place is
working.
Gracz replied the system
is working if it gets used,
but he didnt say how much
it needs to be used to know
that its working.
Lets just do one thing at
a time, he told the Observer. Weve never had this
in place. Lets try it and see
what happens with it.
Staton agreed, and said
an anonymous system could
lead to other problems that
you wouldnt have with
the system the board adopted.
I think it will be fine,
he said. Well educate
employees about the new
system and let them know
what the expectations are.
Boudreau said he has
great respect for the job
that Gracz and other department heads do in the village. So hes willing to go
along with their approach,
but, he said, the storys not
over.
I will continue to inquire
at points as to how this system is working, and engage
Mike in a review, Boudreau said. Im not sure
if I were an employee that
this would do it for me, and
thats why I asked the question.

Village of Oregon

Board seeks
restitution in Pettit case
Former police chief
charged with hiding
income
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group

The Village Board last

week voted in closed session to seek restitution
from former Village of
Oregon police chief Doug
Pettit, whom the Department of Justice charged in
December with two felony
counts of filing false tax
returns.
The board authorized
village attorney Matt
Dregne to seek restitution
from Pettit in the pending
case involving the criminal
charges against him.
Pettit had an initial hearing April 27 and has another hearing slated for May
18. He is free on a $500
bond following months of
delayed initial hearings
due to health complications.
Were going to seek
restitution for costs that
the village incurred in
responding to the subpoenas and taking other action
directly related to the
states investigation that
led to the eventual charges
against Pettit, explained
village administrator Mike
Gracz.
The village spent a total
of $195,000 on its investigation of Pettit and the
police department.
The Village Board
directed the Dregne to

work toward pursuing restitution and to come back

with a report once hes
made some headway.
The point of doing that
(taking the vote) is affording the board the chance in
the future to evaluate the
villages position on restitution, Gracz said.
He added the village
does not have a specific
dollar amount it is seeking
at this point. Thats what
the attorney is going to be
working with the state on,
Gracz said.
According to a criminal
complaint, Pettit submitted
tax returns to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue for 2010, 2011, and
2012 that did not include
income hed made providing security services to
private businesses, including the Union Sports Club.
The sports club became
the center of controversy
last year that led to Pettits
retirement and an investigation into the Oregon
Police Department.
Pettit began using personal and medical leave
from the village in May
2014 and officially retired
Sept. 1, 2014.

Library can help students,

adults beat test anxiety

remember how nervous I used

to get before taking exams. It
was difficult to sleep the night
before, so I would stay up studying and memorizing timelines,
people, dates and facts.
My brothers and I were good
students who studied and tried
hard. However, all of us were
anxious about exams. There were
always high expectations for our
end-of-semester report cards.
Our teachers would hand
them to us and
tell us to give
them to our parents. Of course,
we would look
at them on the
walk home. A
few of us would
Santner
practically fly
home with
smiles and good news, while
another few would slowly drag
feet down the sidewalk.
No one wanted to disappoint
our mother and especially not
our father. Sometimes we didnt
make it to the top of the grading
charts as our parents had hoped.
That would deflate our selfconfidence for a while, and then
wed try harder while our parents
would restrict our televisionwatching and try to check our
homework every night.
We all graduated and are living successful lives, but I dont
think my brothers who would
get positively twitchy when the
parent-teacher conferences would
come up have many happy
memories of their early education.
Thank goodness educational
resources have improved. There
are increasingly larger safety nets
available today to help students
succeed with their education, no
matter how old they are. Students
now can seek help from personal
tutors, education training materials, online resources and of
course the public library.
One of the librarys newest tools is LearningExpress
Library 3.0. The latest version of
the most-loved online learning
resource for academic and career

development is and now more

powerful.
This software should be of
interest to anyone needing to
practice testing, whether theyre
elementary or middle school
students interested in skills
improvement, a high school student preparing for an Advanced
Placement test or the ACT or
SAT or an adult wanting computer skills tutorials or needing
to prepare for any number of professional exams.
LearningExpress Library is
known for basic skills improvement in reading, writing, math,
and basic sciences and test preparation for academic and career
testing. It can help with overcoming test-taking anxiety, raising
test scores and improving skills.
The software has hundreds
of practice exams that can help
users achieve their academic and
career goals. And latest version
features a new tutorial and testpreparation platform, with easier
access to skill-building resources
and new features designed to
help students and adults prepare
for success in school and in life.
LearningExpress Library has
always been like having a copy
of the test in advance, but this
new version is a real step forward.
Upgraded features include a
sleek new format and user interface that provides easier access to
content. Centers make it easier
for adults and students to locate
the resources they need when
they need them.
Centers are collections of
related materials organized
around a theme or classification
of user, such as School (grades
412), College, GED Test Prep,
College Preparation, Career,
Adult Learning and Recursos
para Hispanhoblantes (Spanish).
Library patrons can search and
access tutorials before signing in
and downloading content to their
secure personalized portfolios,
My Center.
The new test preparation features include learner, exam, and
simulation modes. These practice modes are both timed and

untimed, and in them, the user

can view answers during testing
and practice in untimed mode to
learn the material and in timed
modes to improve test readiness.
They help students and adults
prepare for a wide range of academic exams, career certification
tests, and build skills in math,
reading, writing, and basic sciences.
LearningExpress tutorials have
always helped learners improve
basic skills with answer feedback
and recommended learning paths.
The new tutorial design provides
even more feedback and guidance, including unit and lesson
reviews, pre- and post-tutorial
assessment tests and quizzes and
study plans with links to content
for additional learning.
Using LearningExpress Library
is easy and can be done from the
library or your home computer,
but from home youll need your
library card number. Simply log
in at oregonpubiclibrary.org,
locate the Database icon on the
sidebar and enjoy free, unlimited
access to interactive skill-building courses and a broad range of
practice tests.
LearningExpress Library is a
valuable educational and career
tool that should be used by
everyone. Helping people find
the reliable information they
need to make important decisions is a primary mission of the
Oregon Public Library, and were
excited that we can also play a
more active role in helping students and adult learners achieve
their academic and career goals.
So, if you are a nervous testtaker like me or just want to
practice before your big exam,
remember it is all free on either
the library computers or your
own home computer.
For information, call the
library at 835-3656 or access
LearningExpress through our
website, oregonpubliclibrary.org.
Relax, youll pass!
Susan Santner is the director of
the Oregon Public Library.

Center: Only two directors in first 35 years

Continued from page 1
Council on Aging in 1977,
Swanson is one of the few
people around who have
witnessed the entire history
of the center, which started
modestly in the bowels of
Village Hall, slowly adding services and personnel
before moving to their current building in 1980.
The first thing they
had was the meal plan that
came, and that was taken
in the basement of Village
Hall, she said. When they
set up the council, then we
hired two outreach workers to identify the elderly,
and what kind of services
they needed. Then input
progressed, and the services kept getting more and
more.
When the center opened
in 1980, its director was
Nell Mally. It shared space
with the library until 1996,
when the library moved
next door, and the senior
center was completely renovated to take over the rest
of the building. In 1999, a
raised garden was installed,
and a computer lab was
added.
Swanson said it was a big
benefit to area seniors to
finally have a place to go
for services and for socializing.
You could bring people
to the center, she said.

convenient. It just got a lot

more efficient.
When the center first
opened, Swanson said it
was difficult at times to get
seniors to come in for programming.
That generation didnt
look for help, so it was kind
of difficult to get started to
help people, because they
didnt always come and ask
for help, she said. Now,
people are more aware; its
been an education process.
You hear about services,
but you know, you dont

in Oregon, and Swanson
said shes proud to have
seen 35 years of positive
changes. She encouraged
people to come out and
share in the anniversary celebration on Wednesday.
The community has
really become engaged in
the senior center, Swanson
said. Now, all generations
are aware of it and come
for the services, because
we have programs anyone
can come to. We take care
of the young and the old,
which our civilization has
to do, and its really been a

State graduation rates up

For the fourth year in a row, public school graduation
rates have risen. According to a press release from the
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the class
of 2014 had a statewide graduation rate of 88.6 percent,
up from 88 percent for 2013.
According to the release, the statewide five-year
graduation rate was 91.5 percent, also an increase from
last year. The five-year graduation rate accounts for students who by law have additional time to complete their
high school education, according to the press release.
We want every child to graduate with the knowledge
and skills needed for college and careers, said State
Superintendent Tony Evers. This data shows we are
moving in the right direction.

Is Everything Permitted?
One clear message from the New Testament is
that we are under a new covenant, that Jesus has
changed the rules of the game. There is clearly a
debate of sorts going on amongst the writers of the
New Testament about adherence to the rules and
laws of the Old Testament. This debate continues to
rage even in our own times. Some churches advise
strict adherence to dietary strictures and the rules
of morality while some are a lot looser. It may be
the case that everything under the sun has its proper use and thus that nothing is inherently unclean
and yet common sense tells us that not everything
is good for us. Many foods and drugs have their
appropriate uses but are unhealthy or even deadly
if misused. Perhaps everything is permitted in the
narrow sense that nothing created by God is inherently bad, but it does not follow that its unrestricted
use is advisable. Just because you can do something doesnt mean you should. Bacon may be okay
in small amounts, just like morphine, but it will kill
you if you consume too much of it. So we should
consider carefully how we use natures bounty.
Christopher Simon
I have the right to do anything, you say, but not
everything is beneficial.
1 Corinthians 6:12

SENIOR CARE

Q. How can Comfort Keepers care for my loved in their home?

A. As elder loved ones age; there are many situations in which full-time in-home assistance is both helpful

and necessary. The U.S. Census Bureau notes that, as of 2009, over twenty-five percent of people over the age
of 65 live alone. While many elders prefer to live at home rather than in a nursing home or other assisted living
facility, they still have needs that must be fulfilled by alternative means.
Comfort Keepers is an in-home assistance company that provides these alternative solutions that allow elders to
remain in their homes while receiving the aid and assistance they need to lead safe and comfortable lives. Often
times, elders may only need intermittent or part-time care. Other times, full-time care and assistance is required.
Comfort Keepers in-home is available on a part-time, full-time and live-in basis. Live-in situations can vary,
Stephen Rudolph
from elders with chronic illnesses to diseases such as Alzheimer's or dementia where full-time care is necessary
FACHE, CSA
to ensure that these elders do not wander, fall, or injure themselves. Comfort Keepers care providers will live with the elder and work with
the elders family to determine the types of in-home assistance that will be provided, from maintaining a constant and consistent presence in
the home to housekeeping, shopping and more.
No matter what the situation, Comfort Keepers provides the in-home assistance and peace of mind that comes from knowing that elders are
cared for at all times.

VETERINARIAN
Q. Why are pets so susceptible to heat stroke in cars?
A. Cars act like greenhouses, trapping the heat from sunshine. When it
is in the 60s outside, a car will reach and internal temperature of 110.
Even with windows opened two inches on an 83 day, the internal car
temperature hits 109 within 15 minutes. Dogs and cats dont sweat and
they wear fur coats year round. Please dont risk the safety of your family
pets! They are better off at home than sitting in a parked car.

Jahn notches
game-winner
against MG
Anthony Iozzo
Assistant sports editor

The Panthers traveled to Stoughton for a Badger Conference quad

on Tuesday with Stoughton, Madison Edgewood and Monroe.
With the Badger South Conference meet set for next week,
Tuesdays meet served as a chance
to get some of the more inexperienced Panthers a little varsity competition.
Brandon Thompson finished
second in the long jump (18-4 1/2)
and high jump (5-8) on the night.

It could have been a disaster Tuesday against Monona

Grove after junior Jen Brien
went down with an ankle
injury five minutes in the
game.
Brien, who scored in
the second minute, never returned, and Monona
Grove was able to tie the
game twice.
But senior Kelsey Jahn
came to the rescue in the
second half. Jahn was
moved to forward to offset
the Brien injury, and she
scored the eventual gamewinner in the 50th minute as
Oregon remained undefeated with a 3-2 win.
Our girls wanted to win,
head coach Julie Grutzner
said. If we win our last
two games, we will win the
Badger South for the fourth
year in a row. We wanted
to stay focused. We knew it
was going to be a very good
matchup.
Brien scored with an assist
to junior Makena Fanning
before she left the game.
While not sure of the official
diagnosis, Grutzner believes
Brien suffered a sprain and
will be out a few weeks.
But with Jahn and other
girls to rotate in, she said
there are options.
Still, it will not be easy to
adjust to life without Brien
until then.
She was playing so
well, Grutzner said. It will
be a little hit to us, but hopefully we will have her back
by the playoffs.
Fanning scored the other
goal with an assist to senior
Paityn Fleming.

over Fort Atkinson back on April 21. Monday was his first game back to watch his daughter.

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor

Oregon 10, Milton 2

As the long senior on the Oregon softball team Sarah Anderson is the heartbeat of the squad on and off the field.
Following the teams April 21 victory over Fort Atkinson at home, it was
Andersons teammates rallying around
her and not the other way around, however.
Shortly after watching his daughter
help the Panthers to their second win of
the season, Jerry Anderson complained
about not feeling well. Thankfully two
Oregon Police officers happened to be
talking to him at the time and called 911.
We were huddled on the field after
the game and I saw a bunch of people
huddled around my dad and I just ran
to him, Anderson recounted. That
was really hard to deal with. He goes to
every one of my games.
At the hospital, doctors discovered he
was bleeding in his brain. He ended up
staying at the hospital for 18 days before
making it back to watch Oregon play
Madison West on Monday and to hug his
daughter on the field for Senior Night on
Tuesday.
I got really emotional when he came
out on the field and hugged me tonight
because this season will probably be the
last time he gets to see me play, Sarah
said. The first day he was in the hospital, he was asking if he could come
watch me play. Im just really glad that

Kate Spierings and Anderson each

went 3-for-5 and drove in three runs Friday as the Panthers completed a regular
season sweep of Milton.
Oregon scored three runs in each of
the first two innings Friday and then
added four more in the fourth for the
10-2 victory. The Panthers have also
beaten Madison Edgewood and Fort
Atkinson once this season.
Its been awhile in the program since
we swept anyone, OHS head coach
Mike Derrick said. Were making
improvements each year, doubling our
conference win total from last year so
far.
It seems like when we can get off on
the right foot, the momentum carries us.
In total, the Panthers had five kids
with multiple hits, including Knaack
who went 3-for-3. Marissa Kleckler
(2-for-3) and Mackenzie both doubled.
Jenna Gratz knocked in a pair of runs.
Derrick said starting pitcher Lacy Fluckiger looked awesome in the win, striking
out six and walking no one in a threehitter.
She pitched about as good as you
could pitch, Derrick said.

After a couple of tough losses last week, the Oregon High

School baseball team got off
the bus ready to go Tuesday at
Stoughton.
The Panthers looked to
remain on top of the Badger
South Conference, and after
scoring six runs in the first
two innings, were well on their
way.
Senior Mitch Weber did the
rest on the mound, throwing a
two-hit complete-game shutout.
We wanted to beat them
really bad, Weber said. Last
game, we didnt have any
energy at all, and we came
out and just played today. We
stayed in the moment and
jumped on them early. That
gave us momentum, and I was
able to throw strikes.
Oregon (10-6 overall, 7-2
Badger South) started things
off in the first after senior
Chris McGuine walked, stole
two bases and scored on an
error.
Senior Andrew Pliner later
scored on an RBI double by
Weber.
McGuine scored on a
passed ball in the second following an RBI sacrifice fly by
Mason Sergent. Senior Parker
DeBroux later hit a 2-run single to make it 6-0.
It was very obvious there
was one team here ready to
take advantage of the conference, and the other team was
waiting to hand it to them,
Stoughton head coach Jeremy
Dunnihoo said. We made
a couple of errors. We let it
snowball, and no one stepped
up to make a play and shut that
down. It got ugly.
Ben Weiland later knocked
in a run on a single in the fifth.
In the sixth, Sergent scored
on an error, and Pliner who
reached on an error scored
on a passed ball.
The last two games have
been rough, and I think we
needed to go through that to
get to the point we are at right
now, Oregon head coach Jake
Soule said. I can tell when we
got to the park that they were
just fired up and ready to go.
I told them that if we lock in
like that every game, then we
can have this type of result.
That is not a bad team.
That is a good team over there,
and we played a really good
game and put it all together.
This is the kind of thing that
can happen when we do that.
Weber finished with five
strikeouts and two walks in the
win.
Freshman Dylan Nowicki
took the loss. He allowed three

Senior Alex Zacharias finished the game for the Vikings

Weber said that the win
builds lots of confidence as
the Panthers continue to make
a run at a conference title and
more.
If we see them in the playoffs, it is 1-1 now. We didnt
want to have them sweep us
and have them going into the
playoffs with all the confidence. We wanted to let them
know we are here too, Weber
said. We are on top of the
Badger South now, and we
are good. We are ready to go
come playoff time.
Oregon hosts Fort Atkinson
at 5 p.m. Thursday and travels
to Waunakee High School to
take on DeForest at 4:30 p.m.
Saturday in the Badger Challenge. The Panthers host Monroe at 5 p.m. Tuesday, May

I told them to enjoy it

beat Fort on Friday, Soule

said. That is our mindset going into the rest of the

games.

The Panthers traveled to
Milton Friday and fell 7-2.
The Red Hawks scored

cut the deficit to two in the

Pliner and Mitch Weber all
had two hits, while Mason
Sergent added an RBI.
Luke Mueller took the loss.
He allowed four earned runs
on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings,
walking four and striking out

Tyler Westrick picked
up the win. He allowed two
earned runs on seven hits in
seven innings, walking three
and striking out five.

Verona 11, Oregon 3

Oregon hosted non-conference Verona Monday and fell
11-3.
The Wildcats scored six
times in the first to hold off the
Panthers.
Weber was 2-for-4, while
Pliner added an RBI triple.
Mueller had a double and a
run scored, and Dominic Maurice also had an RBI.
Matt Yates took the loss. He
allowed seven earned runs on
five hits in three innings, walking five and striking out one.
Tekoa Whitehead picked
up the win. He allowed two
earned runs on six hits in six
innings, walking four and
striking out six.
